Criminal Charges for Vandalism
Hello,
We're having a tough eviction. The lady filed an extremely detailed answer - all bogus. We prevailed in court. Lockout is this morning. Since the court dates, she has been doing something with the water in her apartment to cause leaks into the apartments downstairs. Last night, she caused a flood that even got water to the floor below that ( she's on the third floor ). Staff had to turn off the water for the whole building at 3:00 this morning.
I am so tired of this kind of crap. I want to file criminal charges against this person, for vandalism. Has anybody had any luck doing that? The last time I called the PD for something a tenant did ( that person stole the refrigerator when she moved out ), they said it was a civil landlord/tenant matter to be handled through the security deposit. Yeah, right. PD just didn't want to do the work.
